Both me an my husband works from home, so we have lots of time to give your little one. Our 3 year old daughter is gentle with dogs (from having grown up with them) and knows how to pet gently and let dogs come to her, we only accept kid friendly visitors for that reason. We also only take one dog at a time for that reason.

We hike every weekend, and if you think your pup would enjoy joining we can do that. We don’t do any off leash activity for everybody’s safety, as our recall would not be as effective as an owners.

Information Theresa A. would like to know about your pet

I do not accept dogs that have shown aggressive behaviors in the past, especially towards children. I have experience with dogs, but I do not have experience with protective breeds and do not sit them having children. If your dog has never been around children before we would not be a good match.

A typical day

Morning pee, noon walk, early evening walk, and bedtime pee. In between would be time for snuggles, play and relaxing time. If your dog is very active we would go on a hike to burn some energy.

Theresa A.'s Neighborhood

Dog loving family - 1 dog at a time

Pet care experience

Please note we dog sit for pleasure more than business and only sit one dog at a time. 🐶 You don’t have to worry about other dogs, during your dogs stay with us. I have had dogs since I was a little girl, most recently we had our beautiful Cavalier Nori, who passed away June last year. We miss having a dog around, but aren't ready yet to get a puppy or adopt, we would love to love on your little one in the meanwhile. *** Please note *** As we have young children, we don’t accept any dogs that have ever shown aggression towards people or dogs, dogs that have a bite history, any bull terrier or bull terrier mix, or other guard dog/pray driven breeds.

Theresa has watched our fur baby quite a few times now and has been absolutely amazing every time. She updates very often with videos and pictures which is so helpful and reassuring! Her and her family are so genuine and very considerate of any instructions and will always ask you things about your fur baby to make sure you’re okay with it. I will continue to use Theresa!!❤️❤️❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
